GIpsy Proverbs.

After misfortune comes fortune.
Better donkey which lets you ride,
than fine horse which throws you off.
Those are the latest fishes which fall
back into the water.
1t is not good to choose women or cloth
by candle light.
What is the use of kiss unless there
be two to divide it2
Who has got luck, need only sit at
home with his mouth open.
Who wants to steal potatoes must not
forget the sack.
Two hard stones donot grind small.
Polite words cost little and do much.
Who flatters you has either cheated you
or wants to cheat.
Who waits till another calls him to sup
per, often remains hungry.
If you have lost your horse, then you
can throw away saddle and bride as
well. -.,.

DIR. somervIIie IN the Highlands.

One OF the interesting events con-
Eected with eyangelistlc work during the
last few months has been the tour OF the
Rev. DIR. Somerville in the Highlands OF
Scotland. This venerable minister has
travelled over great part of the world,
preaching the gospel of salvation Hav-
ing received the honor of being APP
pointed Moderator of the Free Church
Assembly, he undertook to visit the
Highlands during his year of Office, his
addresses being translated sentence by
sentence into Gaelic by some of the
local ministers. In giving an ac-
count Of his labors, Dr. Somerville re-
marked that there was something very
peculiar about the Highlands and High
landcrs He did not know any country
in the world where they would find
such focking Of people to hear the gos-
pei as in the Highlands of Scotland.
They would come from great distance
and at great Inconvenience in the worst
OF weather, and at midday or night, and
hear with avidity and earnestness the
minister declaring the gospel of Jesus
Christ. That was q very interesting
feature of the highlands, and with re-
gard TO communions, these were EXTRA
ordinary things indeed; he did not
think they could get parallels to the
communions of Highlands anywhere in
the world. Il Evangelical Christian.

the loneliness OF the dear country that
can surpass such scene as this, where
one alter another OF the fathers

Just then the chapel bell rang sweetly
the call to morning prayer. and l joined

FIattering Prospects for Success
fui opening Tonight.

The Union Bazaar, which proposesto
raise funds to furnish the new building
of the Young Mems Christian Associa.
ton, just completed, at the corner OF
Sixth and Main streets, will be opened
at TINT place tonight, and every
thing indicates success. The com
mittee of ladies, representing all
denominations, Of which Mrs. Nj. ).
Smith is president, have been engaged
for nearly four months making prepare
tons for the entertainment, and they
have had much to encourage them. The
building, which was received from
the contractor and architect by the
Building Committee on Saturday last,
and which has been In state OF prepa-
ration for several days, is lighted with
electric light from cellar to dome. The
double bovling-alleys have been fitted
ND with the most improved apparatus,
and will be open day and night to
those who wish to indulge in this ex-
hilarating pastime.
The lower floors will be used ash res
taurant, which will be well fur
nished daily with the choicest viands
aud it will prove q convenience to bust
ness-men who donot wish to go home
TO dinner. Here also will be found
model of the steamer Massachusetts,
of the Boston and Providence
Line. Nothing of the kind was
ever exhibited here before. 1t is
in a plate-elass case, and is perfect
working model. An incandescent cleo
trio light will illuminate the entire ma
chipery. ell of which will start in mo-
ton upon a nickel being propped into
n tube at the side. The musical work
alone in the model cost S400, while the
rent for it and the cost Of bringing 1t
here amounts to $500.
In the main hall viii be displayed
tables laden with articles of fancy work
contributed by ladies. The tables will
be in charge OF committees represent
ing the various denominations. Mrs.
J. II. Capers is chairman of the Metho-
dist committee Mrs. II. W. Powers OF
the Baptist Mrs. Thomas Christian OF
the Episcopal; Mrs. w. 5. Donnan,
Jr.. of the Presbyterian, and Mrs.
George ?. Stacy of the independents,
embracing the Christians and other de-
nominations.
Perhaps the chief attraction will be
the flower stand, used as a centre-piece,
which will he in charge of committee
of pretty and vinsome young ladies,
with Miss Sue Starke as chairman.
There will also be large candy-booth
in charge of young ladies', which will
be well stored with nice confection
cries.
The museum, which occupies a sepa-
rate room, is by far not the least attrac-
ton. The collection embraces a large
and beautiful assortment of art trea-
sures, including antique books, pic
lures, statuary, and curiosities from
Richmond and other cities both at
home and abroad.
Altogether the bazaar will prove o
most interesting place where to while
away most pleasantly the delightful eve
ming hours, and the ladies no doubt will
be, as they richly deserve in their com
mendable undertaking, well patronized.

To Resume work.

The indications now are that the
bricklayers, members Of Union No: i,
who went out on a strike last Monday
because their demand for ten-hours
pay with nine-hours' work was not ac-
ceded to, will resume work tomorrow,
if not to-day, upon the old terms. Mr..
w. j. Westwood's men, as has been
previously stated, withdrew from the
union Carter & Bowles's foreman
withdrew last Saturday; George Il.
Redford had FIVE men at work yester-
day. and several others are expecting
their men to resume work to-day.
The Bricklayers' Union held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon, and it was
currently reported afterward that the
union had decided TO withdraw from
the National Union because during the
strike they have received no assistance,
and that all Of the men would return to
work this morning at the old prices.
One of the officers of the union was
asked by Dispatch reporter last night
as to the correctness of this report, and
all that be would say in reply was that
no definite action had been taken.
